Storage Building with Roof Trusses Placed

Avoid Drywall Cracks

A truss with higher deflection is going to cause ongoing nail pops and drywall cracking.

We know how frustrating it is to continually need to repair something that is new. That's why we take every precaution (in design and production) to have the lowest deflection possible in every roof truss we build.

Specializing in Roof Truss Manufacturing

We are invested in designing the highest quality truss, delivering on time, and providing easy to install trusses with an engineer sealed plan.

On Time Delivery
Setting roof trusses is an important milestone of every building project. That’s why delivering on time is important to us.

We know the kind of bind it puts you in and our goal is to make your building project go as smoothly as possible.

We deliver roof trusses to Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois.
Low Deflection Standard
Our designers are trained to find and solve high deflection problems in roof trusses.

When trusses settle over time it causes ongoing maintenance problems in the form of repairing cracked ceiling drywall or other damages.

High deflection is caused by using low quality lumber for the top and bottom chord and poorly engineered truss plans.
Easy Installation
Setting NIT roof trusses does not require years of training or experience.

Each package includes truss layouts and each truss is labelled to help eliminate mistakes and make setting trusses faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the common questions that come up about designing, ordering, and installing trusses. If your question isn't answered send us a message.

Can I pick up my trusses from your facility instead of having them delivered?

Yes. We will load the trusses for you. Make certain you have the hauling capacity needed for your truss.

Do you have in-house engineers?

Our in-house truss designers are trained to use MiTek Engineering Software.

Can you match existing trusses?

Yes, with adequate information we can replicate existing trusses.

Do you sell direct?

We are a wholesaler currently. Find your local lumber yard here.

Do you have stock trusses to sell?

No, we only build to order. To get started request a truss quote.

Are special permits required to deliver trusses?

Trusses that are taller than 12′ 4″ require special permitting as well as a transportation Escort per the DOT.

What's the largest truss you can build?

This varies depending if you’re asking about roof or floor trusses.

Roof Trusses

We can build up to an 90′ long truss, including overhangs and 12′ 10″ tall. If the truss is taller than that, we’ll have to design it as a “capped” truss, sometimes called a piggyback, meaning we would build the truss in two pieces. Both the top and bottom trusses would need to be attached together at the jobsite.

Floor Trusses

We can build up to a 32′ in length floor truss.

What info is needed to quote a truss package?

To get an accurate truss quote you’ll need to provide the following information.

Span of truss
Length of building
On center spacing
Roof pitch
Overhang length
Heel height
Job site location: This is imperative as we’ll need to know what building codes and snow loads needs used for the truss design, as well as the distance for delivery.
